I agree with you Larry. B-Line, I think you have some great points but realize I don't need the movie industry to spend $200 million on a movie. Think of that stupid movie -- what was -- Blair Witch Project? What a strange and cool movie, and it cost ten grand to make. The movie industry needs to slim down on over priced actors, props, and all sorts of stuff. Like any industry, there is a lot of 'fluff' that could be trimmed.

Unfortunately what it comes down to (for me anyways) is that because necessities are so high priced these days (gas, food, whatever)....I vote with my wallet. I haven't been to a movie in close to a year. Why? It's too expensive. Call me crazy. Sure I drive a BMW, but I'm a penny pincher. I just bought a house. Money is tight, and there are some things I omit without even blinking an eye. Does TOm Cruise have to be paid $20 milllion dollars to star in a movie? It's just like baseball, NHL.....we could go on and on.
